Reissued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday, this now classic text includes a new preface by author Daniel
Schwarz taking account of scholarly and critical developments since its original publication. It shows how the now-important
issues of postcolonialism, feminism, Irish Studies and urban culture are addressed within the text, as well as a discussion
of how the book can be approached by both beginners and seasoned readers. Schwarz not only presents a powerful and original
reading of Joyce's great epic novel, but discusses it in terms of a dialogue between recent and more traditional theory. Focusing
on what he calls the odyssean reader, Schwarz demonstrates how the experience of reading Ulysses involves responding both
to traditional plot and character, and to the novel's stylistic experiments

"It is a particular feature of Holocaust fictions that we remember them differently than other fictions, and as the historical
period recedes, literature helps keep those events alive. In Imagining the Holocaust, Daniel R. Schwarz examines widely read
Holocaust narratives that have shaped the way we understand and respond to the events of that time. Schwarz argues that as
we move further away from the original events, the narratives authors use to render the Holocaust horror evolve to include
fantasy and parable, and he shows how diverse audiences respond differently to these highly charged and emotional texts."--Jacket

"In this important study, the distinguished critic Daniel R. Schwarz argues that the narrative and representational aspects
of Stevens's poetry have been neglected in favour of readings that stress Stevens's wordplay and rhetoricity. Stressing Stevens's
familiarity with modern painting, Schwarz shows how Stevens's concept of representation is deeply influenced by such figures
as Picasso and Duchamp. Schwarz shows that Stevens's poetry needs to be understood in terms of a number of major contexts:
the American tradition of Emerson and Whitman, the Romantic movement and, most importantly, the modernist tradition." "Through
careful analyses of selected poems from every stage of Stevens's career, Schwarz shows how Stevens's aesthetics and themes
evolve. He sees 'The Man with the Blue Guitar' and 'Notes towards a Supreme Fiction' as central poems in the Stevens canon."--Jacket

In an exciting and important book ... The theoretical chapters are a model of elegantly styled accommodation; yet they brook
no fudging of the issues, no comfortable ambiguities - Modern Fiction Studies The Transformation of the English Novel, 1890-1930:
Studies in Hardy, Conrad, Joyce, Lawrence, Forster and Woolf is a provocative exploration of a crucial period in the development
of the English novel, integrating critical theory, historical background and sophisticated close reading. Divided into two
major sections, the first shows how historical and contextual material is essential for developing powerful readings. The
second section is theoretical and speaks of the transformation in the way that we read and think about authors, readers, characters
and form in the light of recent theory, offering an alternative to the deconstructive and Marxist trends in literary studies

The essence of Modernism - the aesthetic and intellectual movement that virtually reinvented art and literature at the turn
of the twentieth century - is the thrust of the latest volume from Daniel R. Schwarz. In Reconfiguring Modernism, Schwarz
suggests diverse directions for studying the relationship between modern art and modern literature. Bringing together thirty
years of experience on the subject and drawing upon specific texts and paintings, Schwarz proposes interrelationships between
such striking pairs of artists as Gauguin and Joseph Conrad, Manet and Henry James, and Cezanne and T.S. Eliot, as well as
a triptych consisting of Picasso, Stevens, and Joyce

"After an introduction outlining his method and a substantial first chapter establishing the intellectual, cultural, and literary
contexts in which the modern British and Irish novel was produced, Schwarz turns to close reading of modernist masterworks.
He shows how Hardy's Jude the Obscure, Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim, Lawrence's Sons and Lovers and The Rainbow,
Joyce's Dubliners and Ulysses, Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, and Forster's A Passage to India form essential
components in a modernist cultural tradition which includes the visual arts." "Schwarz's work takes account of recent developments
in theory and cultural studies. His study will not only be invaluable to students and teachers, but will also be of interest
to the general reader."--Jacket

"Rereading Conrad sheds new light on an author who has spoken to readers for over a century. Schwarz's essays take account
of recent developments in theory and cultural studies, including postcolonial, feminist, gay, and ecological perspectives,
and show how reading Conrad has changed in the face of the theoretical explosion that has occurred over the past two decades.
Because for over three decades Schwarz has been an important figure in defining how we read Conrad and in studying modernism,
including how we respond to the relationship between modern literature and modern art, scholars, teachers, and students will
take great pleasure in this new collection of his work."--Jacket

From false stories about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to growing competition from online and twenty-four-hour cable
news, the first decade of the twenty-first century was not particularly kind to the New York Times. In this groundbreaking
study of the recent life and times of America's most important newspaper, Daniel R. Schwarz describes the transformation of
the Times as it has confronted not only its various scandals and embarrassments but also the rapid rise of the internet and
blogosphere, the ensuing decline in circulation and print advertising, and the change in what contemporary readers want and
how they want to get it. Drawing on more than forty one-on-one interviews with past and present editors (including every living
executive editor), senior figures on the business and financial side, and publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Schwarz discusses
virtually every aspect of the contemporary Times, from columnists to cultural coverage. He explains how, in response to continuous
online updating and twenty-four-hour all-news radio and television, the Times has become much more like a daily magazine than
a traditional newspaper, with increased analysis (as opposed to reporting) of the news as well as value-added features on
health, travel, investing, and food. After carefully tracing the rise of the Times's website, Schwarz asks whether the Times
can survive as a print newspaper, whether it can find a business model to support its vast print and online newsgathering
operation, and whether the Sulzberger family can survive as controlling owners. He also asks whether the Times, in its desperate
effort to survive, has abandoned its quality standards by publishing what he calls "Timeslite" and "Timestrash." Writing as
a skeptical outsider and devoted lifelong reader, Schwarz concludes that the Times is the worst newspaper in the world--except
for all the others. Endtimes? is a must-read for Times readers as well as anyone interested in the radical change in print
and broadcast media in the rapidly evolving Internet Age
